Someone Told Me

Well, someone told me, tried to tell me

It sounded backwards and upside down

Someone told me something

That really messed my head around

And I wondered sadly

I sadly wondered

Could we ever be on common ground?

Read and listen, I watch and listen

It's like a train wreck and I can't turn away

So many worlds colliding

Everywhere, every day

People looking at the same things

All the same things

Them in conflicting ways

Well, if you see me walking down the avenue

Call my name and I just stare a hole through you

Please don't worry about me 'cause I'm really fine

Sometimes I just get lost inside my mind

Someone told me, tried to tell me

He was dressed and painted like a clown

Someone told me something

Tried to mess my head around

Around and round

But I had a feeling he knew

That his words were untrue

We'll never be on common ground

Well, I know a man you can't own up to the things he's done

He's got no sense of honor and never did have one

Where would he be without a wall to hide behind?

I'm glad I'm not the one living in his mind
